A group of researchers have made the headline-grabbing claim that they can reduce belief in God with the application of magnetic coils to a patient’s skull. Researchers at the University of York in York, England, say they used a technique used to treat depression, called transcranial magnetic stimulation, to alter Christians’ beliefs in God and, oddly, opinions about immigration. The media being the way they are — mostly anti-Christian — it’s the claim about God beliefs that are getting Read more […]

I love me some Chick-fil-A! In our city, Chick-fil-A has slowly been adding more stores, and with each one, I feel a little more thankful for a family-friendly fast food chain that has some pretty healthy choices on its menus. They also serve up freindliness, courtesy, and smiles. I guess I am not the only one who likes the overall atmosphere of Chick-fil-A. Some customers at one of the newest and largest branches of the chain are feeling pretty good about it, too. According to writer Ginia Bellafante in Read more […]

I tried to like this pope when he was selected. I think most of the world wanted to love or at least respect him. But his American tour has shown beyond any doubt that instead of a man of God, he is a man of the Left. And while he uses the poor continually as a prop in his speeches, a la “do this because the poor are suffering,” he is pushing the same tired leftist rhetoric about economic equality, social justice and environmental welfare that you can get from your run-of-the-mill Marxist college Read more […]

San Francisco used to be a nice town. The shining City by the Bay. That was a long time ago, though, before the city turned into one of the nation’s leading dens of liberalism and the residents went collectively insane. There are a lot of troubles these days in San Francisco, the home town of Nancy Pelosi. Most of them are brought on by the leaders of San Francisco, from designating the town a “sanctuary city” for illegal aliens to allowing various “clothing optional” parades, fairs and other Read more […]

It’s stunning how fast things can change in the La-La Land that passes for liberal logic. Within a day of the Supreme Court’s ruling creating a constitutional right to homosexual “marriage,” the same sort of people who see burning the U.S. flag as free speech were suddenly gung-ho for America and accusing dissenters from the court’s majority opinion of committing treason. Jay Michaelson at the Daily Beast is of the opinion that part of a Supreme Court justice’s job is to quell controversy. Dipping Read more […]

Kids in schools today are exposed to all manner of morally questionable ideas, especially in very liberal states like New York. In addition to the outright assault on America’s sexual morals, the liberal education industry force feeds children an adulterated history, “feel-good” math and a steady diet of left-wing political pap. One thing that isn’t taught in schools, either because the teachers disagree with it or simply don’t know it, is the U.S. Constitution. None of the founding documents Read more […]

The Conservative Political Action Conference is continuing its tradition of raising conservative hackles by announcing that the group American Atheists would be included in this year’s event, then revoking the group’s invitation on the same day. On Tuesday, CNN reported that the American Atheists were crowing about having their CPAC invitation approved, much to the annoyance of several conservatives, including Brent Bozell, who pulled out of next month’s conference upon hearing the news. See, Read more […]

A large part of the reason liberals have been able to maintain a chokehold on this country is that they have been able to count on the complicity of what has been laughingly termed “mainstream” media. Conservatives know from being on the receiving end of years of gut-wrenchingly bad and biased reporting that the not-even-close-to-mainstream media lean way to the left and spend most of their time trying to persuade the country that what used to be normal is now evil. (What basis the predominantly Read more […]

Last week Detroit announced that they were declaring Chapter 9 bankruptcy in lieu of $18-$20 billion in debt. Kevyn Orr, Detroit’s emergency manager recommended the bankruptcy and Michigan Governor Rick Snyder gave his authorization. However, just a few short days later, Ingham County Circuit Judge Rosemarie Aquilina ruled that the bankruptcy violated the state constitution and therefore had to be withdrawn. The state constitution forbids anyone or anything from cutting the pension benefits Read more […]

Even as the Pentagon mulls cracking down on Christian evangelists in the military; the IRS is investigated for targeting Christians and other conservatives; the Health and Human Services Department is being sued for violating religious freedom; and the Department of Homeland Security continues to cast about for Christian “terrorists” to persecute, the Obama Administration’s faith office has met with an atheist coalition to discuss ways to get atheists more deeply involved in government. It’s no Read more […]

The IRS abused its power in targeting conservatives for harassment and probably leaking information to liberal groups during the presidential election cycle. But the IRS’s actions crossed a line from merely corrupt into sinister when it grilled an Iowa pro-life group about its religious views. During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on Friday, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., asked outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about it. “Their question,” Schock said, “specifically asked from the Read more […]

It’s a good thing that the people charged with protecting America from enemies foreign and domestic aren’t allowed to profile potential suspects. We all know profiling is wrong. Just imagine if law enforcement had profiled a bunch of young Muslims whose hobbies included being on terrorist watch lists, being the subject of warnings to the U.S. by Russian and Saudi Arabian officials, spending time on jihadist websites, driving around with a sign that said “Terrorista #1.” … Azamat Tazhayakov Read more […]
